Scan and Share Feature for Seamless OPD Booking at RIMS, Imphal

he Scan and Share feature of the NextGen eHospital Application has
been launched at the Regional Institute of Medical Sciences, Imphal.
TThis feature streamlines the process for patients with Ayushman
Bharat Health Accounts (ABHA) to book OPD tickets through the ABHA App
without enduring long queues.
Patients can now easily scan QR codes displayed at multiple locations
in the waiting and registration areas using their smartphones. This allows
them to share their demographic details and health records, minimizing
queue congestion and data inaccuracies.
Various ABHA-enabled smartphone Personal Health Record (PHR) appli-
cations are available, enabling individuals to create their ABHA number, link
and store their health records, and share them with health facilities. These
applications also facilitate QR code scanning in the OPD registration area,
transferring demographic information to the hospital’s Health Management
Information System (HMIS).
The hospital’s HMIS generates a token number for patients based on the
shared information, which is then sent to their mobile phones. Patients can
wait at designated areas until their token number appears on overhead
screens. When their turn arrives, operators retrieve demographic details
from the system and print the OPD card, significantly reducing wait times
and ensuring accurate data entry.
This streamlined process eliminates the need for patients to stand in Launch of ABDM Compliant Scan and Share Feature of NextGen e-Hospital
